one. Finally, I pulled out a folded New York Jets football player, addressed To: Kekei From: Brandon.
On the last day of elementary school, Brandon broke up with me to, in his terms, "play the field" in middle school. Recovering was a slow and painful process. New crushes came and went, but 10 years later I've yet to have a significant other to celebrate that day with. I'm afraid my youthful optimism has hardened and gone as stale as those colorful candy hearts stamped with sweet sayings. (I'm not bitter. Do I sound bitter?)
I have one successful Valentine's Day on record. It was sixth grade and things were getting pretty serious between me and my boyfriend. Brandon. We'd known each other since kindergarten when he would come over to play Power Rangers with my twin brother, Kevin. Somewhere between soccer games at recess and hand-holding in the hallway, romance ensued.
Unlike all of the other kids who received this NFL Valentine, mine was different. It wasn't sealed with the matching football sticker, but with a cure green dinosaur, gleaming and clutching a pink heart that said, "Let's be friends." It was true love at its finest.

Whether you're single or taken, check out Lindsay's story on page 8 and decide how to celebrate this sometimes-dreaded holiday. As for me, I'll be spending this Singles' Awareness Day (also known as S.A.D. Ironic?) with my best friends — drinking wine, eating sushi and fondly remembering a simpler time when love was exchanged through sports heroes and funny Valentines.
